Trip the light fantastic

When T and I got married, the girls and I moved into his house soon after.

He’s owned the house for 13 years.

Have you ever tried to change a man’s house after he’s lived there for 13 years? Suffice is to say, it’s not easy.

Slowly but surely I am making changes. Of course I am. There were certain things that just had to go.

But I gotta hand it to him. He does have some very cool things. Some things you wouldn’t expect.

For instance, when we were decorating the girls’ room, he pulled out these bad boys, which matched their pink and blue décor exactly.

And when we needed a lamp for the baby’s yellow and green nursery, this fit right in the corner.

It’s not that I didn’t know that he had a penchant for tiffany-style lamps. I’d noticed others throughout the house, but when I looked up last week and finally noticed that there was one in our laundry room, which is detached from the house, and home to the pet food and utility sink and dirty laundry hampers, I decided I needed to pay more attention.

Just how many are there?

Well there’s the three in the girls’ bedrooms, and the one in the laundry room.

Impressive collection! Libby opens the door to a whole lot of PROS about the choice of collections... I do recall an inventory of televisions at one point as well, yea? I'm with Ellie though, my favorite part is how you didn't notice for a whole year. I like a woman with her priorities straight!

Speak!

Once upon a glass or twelve of wine, Jacquie and Beth and Ellie got to talking. We decided that we were all enormously smart and clever and hilarious, and that it would be a crime not to share our unique talents with the world. We decided to start a blog together.

We needed a name, so Jacquie asked Beth: “What should we call a blog about meand you and Ellie?” And the rest, as they say, is history. We are having a blast writing this thing, and if there was any trepidation that we were only smart and clever and hilarious that night because of all the wine, our words here thus far have succinctly affirmed our mutual self-admiration.
